Lipsiuc has played four times for the Potters in the Premier League 2 since arriving on loan at Walsall until the end of the season on transfer deadline day in February. 

The midfielder, who is currently on international duty with Ireland under-21s, is yet to feature in a match day squad for the Saddlers. 

But Sadler feels the arrangement with his parent club Stoke will ensure that Lipsiuc is ready to play when called upon.

The Walsall boss said: "When Darius was brought in, it was knowing exactly that we would do that. There is nothing surprising from my side of things with the relationship we've got there.
